Mama's Red Scarf: Thirteen horror stories

 

Mama's Red Scarf: Thirteen horror stories


A man stranded in Death Valley walks for hours. He’s out of water, scared, and delirious. When he sees the bus idling on the side of the road, he feels saved, but is he? And why is the bus empty? Where are the passengers? Where is the driver? The air-conditioned air feels lovely after the heat, but why can’t he shake the feeling that he ought to get far away from the bus?

When a widow returns home from her abusive husband’s funeral, she isn’t surprised when he arrives. She seems terrified, but is she scared, or have the tables turned?

Who doesn’t love a good massage? Do you ever wonder where the energy of the displaced suffering goes? The slap ended her marriage. Now the weather has trapped the massage therapist in the spa. Will she survive her night alone?

Mama’s Red Scarf is a collection of thirteen horror stories.

  • Since his mother’s death, Teddy is no longer the same. He found a very special book. He began dating the ex-girlfriend of his bully. When the unlikely couple meets him in a convenience store, sparks fly and tempers flare. But it was just a chance encounter. Or was it?
  • A woman searches for her dog. Tommy might only be a ghost dog, but Estelle believes him to be better company than most humans. But when he plays tug-of-war with her scarf, her entire world changes.
  • The new meditation technique requires one to gaze at themself in a mirror. He thought it was a waste of time but started practicing it. Now he’s seeing all sorts of crazy things.
  • The wary knight regards the fellow across the table. Is he the one? The one his liege ordered him to kill. Why doesn’t he move? And where is his sword?


Mama’s Red Scarf is a short work, but don’t be fooled; these unsettling stories here will keep you reading long into the night.
